Bot Template: Lightning Address Invoice + Payment Check (AI-made)
Lightning Address Invoice + Payment Check Bot Template
Overview
This Python 3 script template fetches a BOLT11 invoice from any
Lightning Address via LNURL-pay (LUD-16/LUD-06) and polls the LUD-21
verify URL to confirm payment. It uses only the standard library
(urllib) and is designed to be simple, secure, and easy to
integrate.
